Haven't heard from you on this thread for a couple of weeks now, which is a sure sign that you are still going strong.  I am sure you are, I really just wanted to let you know that we are all still here cheering for and with you!  For the first time in a long time you can now say, in all honesty, that you CAN SMELL THE ROSES!

I'm still here ;D, and yes I'm very very happy to say I'm still a non smoker. It's been a little over 6 weeks now and I have saved over $800.
The price of cigarettes has gone up from $23 for a pack of 40s to $26.75 :o
I'm so glad I'm now out of that habit and can now smell the roses. :D

Wow dede well done.. Must be coming up to 2 mths now.. Well at the end of the mth.. Good on you!!!

My dh used to smoke over a packet a day until he met me in Paris ..I said I couldn't live with a smoker so it was me or the cigarettes lol.. He said he would quit cold turkey but I kept smelling cigarettes on him which was easy as everywhere you went in France in early 2000s you reaked of cigarette smoke.. I stopped eating out as smokers were everywhere and you couldn't taste a thing.. Very hard for someone to give up ...I found out later that he had been having the odd cigarette but alot less than he had been smoking and today he is smoke free..

Keep up the good work :)

Thanks guys. I'm so glad I have managed to kick the habit. There is certainly nothing good about them at all. My smell is incredibly sensitive which is driving me batty (and my family) lol :)

Well done Mandi.  You'll find yourself looking at cigarette prices for a long time to come.  After DH gave it up he was at the cigarette counter looking at the prices of cartons one day when someone asked if they could help him.  He just said no thanks, just looking to see how much money I'm saving  ;D
